One of the biggest shopping events of the year is here.
Amazon Prime Day is now in full swing, and we're in for big savings between June 23 and 26. To help Mashable readers find the best Prime Day gaming deals, we sent our most dedicated gamers on a quest to find the top discounts on gaming consoles, headsets, Samsung gaming monitors, and more
It's no secret that the gaming world has seen a huge wave of price increases in 2026. The Nintendo Switch 2 is set for a price hike later this year, and let's not even talk about the price of the Steam Machine. With this in mind, you should take advantage of Prime Day gaming deals while you still can.
Keep checking this page, as we'll be adding more deals throughout Prime Day 2026.
Best gaming monitor deal
Why we like it
A gaming monitor has the power to change the whole gaming experience. Go curved, and you'll never go back to a dull, flat screen. Lucky for us, the 32-inch Samsung Odyssey G5 has a 1000R curve, and it's on sale for a massive 42% off for Prime Day, coming in at just under $190 instead of the list price of $329.99. It's also worth noting that the 27-inch model is on sale for about $200, which makes the lower price on the 32-inch model a fantastic snag.
The Samsung Odyssey G5 comes with game-worthy specs like a 165Hz refresh rate, AMD Radeon FreeSync, and a glare-free display.

Best gaming-worthy TV deal
Why we like it
We often think of gaming as an expensive hobby, but it doesn't have to be if gaming items are multi-functional. For example, the 65-inch TCL ClassQM6K QLED TV can serve as your gaming display as well as your TV. Pair this with the sale price of $527.99, and things are looking a lot more realistic, price-wise.
The TCL has a native refresh rate of up to 144Hz for crisp and quick gaming. The refresh rate is also excellent if you're sitting down to enjoy watching World Cup games this summer. TCL has the list price for the 65-inch ClassQM6K QLED TV set at $799.99, but Amazon's Prime Day sale takes 33% off.
Best gaming headset - SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X
Why we like it
SteelSeries is one of the best brands in gaming headsets. It comes with audio presets for some of the most popular titles like Call of Duty and Fortnite, so you can dominate games even more. Being able to hear the footsteps of your opponents is crucial to landing victories. The headset is both durable and comfortable, weighing only 260G while its dual-hinge design gives it a sturdy frame.
The battery lasts for up to 40 hours, and just a 15-minute quick charge restores up to 9 hours of playback. This way, you're always ready to jump back into the game. And under $100? Count us in.
Best deal for kids - Nex Playground Console
Why we like it
The Nex Playground is the perfect gaming console for kids as it includes child-friendly games such as Fruit Ninja, Whac-a-Mole, and Party Fowl. With a Play Pass subscription, you'll get access to more than 30 other games too. Luckily, this bundle contains a 12-month free pass. It's incredibly easy to set up, as you just need to connect an HDMI cable to your TV, and its small form factor keeps it out of the way for kids.
Even better, you don't need a controller! It uses its built-in camera and AI motion tracking to let kids take control while playing. Up to four players can participate at a time, so there's always room for a party. The Nex Playground exploded in popularity last year, and now it's hardly on sale anymore, so here's your chance to save.
Best Nintendo Switch deal
Why we like it
This Nintendo Switch 2 bundle may not technically be an actual Prime Day deal, but it's still worth picking up if you're looking to buy the console. Not only do you get the Switch 2 itself as well as a pair of included Joy-Con controllers, but you also get a game of your choice. You can select from the popular titles Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, and Pokémon Pokopia, which can save you some additional cash. It's cheaper to buy this bundle than the Switch 2 base console and a game, and we can vouch for all three titles as excellent starter games. And if you're going to buy a Switch 2, now's the time to do so: Nintendo is raising the price from $449.99 to $499.99 on Sept. 1.
